CardioDetectlab h-FABP
CardioDetectcombi
CardioDetectquant
A high precision instrument for rapid quantification.
High precision due to its advanced confocal LED detector technology.
Stand-alone device with an intuitive and fast user interface.
Option to control the reader via a computer allowing even more convenient handling, data storage and printing.
Rechargeable batteries allowing mobile use for several hours.
Simple installation of calibration curves updates for new batches of CardioDetect, assuring batch to batch consistency.
 
Diagnosis of AMI h-FABP Products Advantages
 
The use of the early marker makes h-FABP (heart-type fatty acid-binding protein) in combination with the intelligent design of CardioDetectâ„¢ make the test ideal for early triaging of AMI:

Fastest AMI triaging

h-FABP is faster than all other cardiac markers.

High safety
No other marker provides such a high early diagnostic reliability.

Cost effective
No costly equipment required. No maintenance. No laboratory costs.

Ease of use
The design of CardioDetect is easy to understand. Its use does not require
specialised knowledge.
